Entity's Fragment
Scutum: My lord! ...
(after some time)
Television News: "We have received new that a certain type of underground gang called "Black Bear", is involved in misleading the people as well as hunters to join the illegal dungeon raid without specific law regulation. Resulting a lot of deaths both hunters and porters as well. All the missing person from the last few years have been found to be in contact with Black Bears Gang, before they went into missing."
"The dungeon that they are working on, have been collapsed by the unknown reason, we don't know the specific details yet, but the authority is currently trying to find the reason behind all this. Each person involving in this activity, will be detained and interrogated by the Police and NHO, National Hunter Organization."
Inside the factory, monster's dismantling department's....
People speaking: (chatter) (chatter) (chatter)
"Another one?"
"Sound like it, but this time sure is way bigger matter. A lot of people are victims of them, I heard the victims are over hundreds of hunters."
"But I also heard, the normal people like us as well, they went in as part-time contract porters and also went missing. Isn't it?"
"Who cares about normal people like us, I am sure, they are only telling us, how many hunters suffered from this scheme."
"Well, I can't deny that. Our life is already hard enough, we have to keep working 12 hours shift every day, no holiday. To make it worse, we used to be big shot in movie industry, upcoming actors, right? Now, we are nothing more than a handsome guy working at the Monster's Dismantling Department. Life is tough."
"Quit complaining about it man. Consider that lucky, we got this job. Everyone wants to get a job related to the hunter or monsters & dungeons drop handling. There are a lot of people worse than us, think about it. We are given a place to live with our family, in the secure region, food and water for our family is not a problem, as long as we keep working and if we become the group leader of dismantling party, or our party becomes famous or acquaintance with famous hunters. We can be rich, fame and money. More than that safety. That is the only reason, people want to be hunter or be friends with hunters. Because more or less, they can counter the monster waves. Normal people like us won't get a chance, even if we are given a machine gun fully preloaded."
"Damn, yesterday, Dean got married, do you know who the wife is? She is the (D) Rank hunter, she is also a party member of the "Hell Fire Princess" I wish to get a wife like that as well."
"Mind your business, man. You got a wife already, she is the ex-actress right, she is beautiful than most of the woman in your league. Bro, even so, Dean is the only son of the KJ Trading Group that also handles dungeon products, we are nothing bro, all our fortune had been destroyed by the monsters, years ago. Be thankful that someone is willing to marry us and start a family."
"Come on, man, I got 4 hours to go, also I heard that there is a big batch coming today. After we finish today's quota, let's make something to eat at your place, I will bring my family there. My daughter likes playing with your daughter as well. She has been saying about it for a while."
At the unknown restaurant:
(television news)
"Again?" (people chatter)
"That's happened a lot lately, dungeon scam and fake dungeon drops scams. I guess situation is getting worse and worse."
"I heard that there are a lot of scams, but I never thought the recently missing hunters and porters are caused by the "Black Bear Guild"."
"What do you know? Black Bear Guild is mostly about ex-hunter with criminal records, they are big enough and their techniques are sly enough to let police to found nothing guilty about them. In the underworld, the people considered them not to be messed with."
"Door noises"
"Can I have a pork cutlet with a mushroom ramen?"
"That will be 22 dollars?"
"I don't bring cash today. I work for the hunter related business. Can I pay with Hunter's Credit?"
"Yes, of course. That will be 3 credits."
"Here, it is."
"Thank you"
Door open sound:
"Welcome, you can order here~"
Den: "Hello, can I have a regular nutrient supplement meal for 5 adults?"
"Excuse me? Regular nutrient supplement meal for 5 adult portions?"
Den: (silence)
"Ok, right away. How would like to pay sir?"
Den: I don't have cash with me. Can I pay with..
"Oh, we also accept hunter's credit Sir. 1 credit for one portion, totally 5 credit, sir."
Den: Can I pay with this?
Drop... the lowest grade magi stone on the table.
(chunk chunk noise)
"Arrr..mind wait a second sir?"
"It been a day since I got out of that damn dungeon, what happen is.."
"The boss kinda exploded from the inside, so intense that I use most of my point on the agility status on running out of the damn dungeon. I never though a dungeon would collapse from this kind of explosion. Look like as if,
Scutum(whisper): My lord, I felt that the explosion isn't as simple as we thought, also I felt something is wrong with the boss monster. My lord's servants, shadows are an existence that serve my lord specifically and we had sworn our oath to you, my lord, only my lord can summon and send them back to the shadow realm and there is no case that we don't answer the summon of the lord. Using force to expel them from this realm is possible but. My lord, don't you feel something strange...that.
Den: "yes, I can't recover my servant even though I have enough MP right now. As I remember, the system said something like, my servant had been erased out of the existence. Now I have only 9 servants in my capacity, that I recalled back then three of the hell knights(A+)."
Scutum(whisper): My lord, as far as my knowledge allows me, your strength, is from the entity being that even I don't even know a single thing, only entity can affect other entity."
Den: "So, you are saying. There is some entity lurking around back then?"
Scutum(whisper): Look like it, my lord. Otherwise, there is no reason for your humbled but mighty shadow servants to be erased out of existence.
Den: "So, that entity also has Authority Point on par with me, then to be able to affect my skill. Since my servant has been erased out of existence, I can't recall them, even if I have enough MP huh? That is interesting."
Scutum(whisper): My lord. Including me, we lost half of the shadow servants back there. There are only a few left, including the three hell knights(A+) that you acquired back then.
Den: "Well, there is no use, wasting time thinking about the things that we don't actually know about."
Den: "Damn, I already ate 5 adult portions of the nutrient pack, the tastes is really blunt as fxxk, but why do I still hungry?"
Scutum(whisper): My lord, there is a change in your body. I also fused with your body as well so I can feel a little of my strength coming back to me. I make adjustments to your body structure, overall muscle capabilities as well as your skeleton frame. Currently, your body is in the process of reshaping process, the more level up you have, the faster the growth. I just initially, reinitialized the growth process of your body, but even I don't know, how much potential your body can have, since one's stop growing once it reaches its max potential. But I am sure that my lord will be different than normal human or hunter, since you are fused with Xeno race.
Den: "Alright, I just finished a big fight, don't make my mind exhausted again, with a bunch of information. I don't want to know right now."
Den: "System" "Inventory"

Den was eating the meal, usually this meal is designed to have enough nutrition for the adult to last one whole day although tasteless and blunt. Suddenly, a surge of hungry, dark aura, emerged from the Den's body, making all the people in the restaurant to feel the chill down to the spine, more like they are at their death door, being stared straight by the death itself."
People: (silence)
Scutum: !!!???
Den: !!?? What, my bloodthirst? No, this one is different, I can't control it.
Scutum: My lord, let me help. (Absorbs all the dark aura emitted by the Den's body and materialize it)
People: (whisper) "Cool wave?" "I feel the chill, just look at my arm." "I feel like my stared at the death itself, creepy" " Maybe a cool wave. Don't worry about it." "Nothing happen right?" "I don't feel good anymore" "Wanna go home."

System Message: Congratulations for the host for obtaining, the achievement "One Who Wins Duel(rare)"
System Message: Congratulations for the host for devouring, a portion of an Evil Entity "Lich King"
System:
Den: Wtf.
Scutum: My lord, look like, it is a fragment of an entity, who lost the duel. The thing you just devoured. I know because, our queen battled against the so-called entity races and when an entity loses a duel, a portion of its power is dropped. Although I know, we can absorb or fuse with the fragment, I never heard of devouring one.
Den: Well, look like you know about it more than me. What is the fragment?
Scutum: As far as your humble servant knows, my lord. A fragment is the fragment pieces of the entity existence, the very foundation of their authority and power. If the entity loses a duel many things, they will be weakened, and their territory will be reduced or snatched by other entities.
Den: (silence) (thinking)
Den: "First, let's check what changes it brings to the point of causing this commotion."
